ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.

V.M.A.C. v. County: The above game took place on the Childers road reserve, and resulted m a win. for, the Reds by four goals to nil. County ha i to play three Juniors, and the score hardly indicates the relative strength of the teams, as Campbell for County nearly scored on four different occasions. If a veteran i like Winks had had the putting of the finish- ! ing touches to Campbell's runs, the scores' ; would have been about even. However, the ! better tenm won on the day's play, and both j teams can be satisfied that they possess players ! who will worthily represent their clubs. For | the V.M.A.C. both backs were, pretty safe. ] G. Webster was the besfci of the halves, and i Wincks and J. Hughes were the pick of the ! forwards. Some of the red fftrwnrds were j playing too much off-side. For County the | goal-keeper played » good safe game. * Hun- ] wick as usual *was the best back on the field; Cook was the best of the halves, and Hodgson, Campbell and Dick of the forwards. Marshall, a junior, also showed good form, and I is likely to develop into a good man. Mr S. j Hoare refereed. ) Taruheru (3) v.
